I guess it has the same fatal flaw as epiphany: no support for
firefox/mozilla extensions.  That means there is no adblock (well,
epiphany has one, but it's broken), no web site debugging, no
fine-grained script & plugin blocking, no almost everything that keeps
browsing to be fun & safe...

Oh, and keyword searches don't work (properly) in epiphany either, how's
that in Galeon?


And personally, I think the idea behind the Epiphany bookmark system is
actually pretty good, but the UI for it is very bad (slow &
complicated).
